5-3 Troubleshooting
1. Description: please read carefully the operating instructions if certain problems or doubts are encountered when logic analyzer is employed. 2. Operating questions and countermeasures: Q1: Unable to execute the main application or can only use display mode. please check by the following procedures: Ans: 1. Check if the driver is installed successfully. 2. Make sure that USB cable and PLA USB port are well connection. 3. Try anther USB device. If it OK, means the USB port is normal. If not OK, means the USB port maybe damaged. 4. Try another USB cable. Q2: Why is the power indicator (red) highlighted after startup, but no on-screen display exists? Ans: 1. Make sure the each channel and DUT has been connected properly. 2. Make sure the grounding cord of measurement channel is linked to the ground joint of the DUT correctly. 3. Make sure that the setting of trigger level is fit to the signal level of the DUT. 4. Make sure that the setting of trigger level is 4 times higher than the DUT. 5. Make sure that the setting of the trigger is accurate. If the signal does not fit to the setting of trigger, please simplify the conditions of trigger or modify the condition. 6. Make sure if the setting of trigger counter setting is too many times. 7. If use external sampling signal to sampling, the counters of sampling maybe not enough. In this situation, please try to capture the internal sampling signal to verify it normal or not, if it shows normal, we can be sure the result of the above are correct.
